Question for animal lovers

Question

do you think people who don't treat animals with respect, for instance, kill them for fun (not food) face some kind of karmic laws? thanx

Answer 1

Definitely. Animals are trying to live a life and get by just as any human is. Humans are luckily at the top of the food chain but we should not take advantage of our abilities. No form of killing should be allowed. If hunters want to hunt so badly they should go to an arcade and play that stupid hunting game OR maybe they should be shot just to feel what kind of pain a helpless peaceful animal undergoes. Obviously, I hate hunters and I am a strict vegetarian. Anyone hunting or harming animals should get the same punishment as the people that do the same to humans get. Just my opinion. . .

Answer 2

No I do not necessarily think that.  Like all us us they will have to answer when the time comes.

Answer 3

nice speech Pow Yee and I totally agree

Answer 4

I don't believe it Karma so I will have to say no they probably don't. Poor animals suffer at the hands of these barbarians .. I hope these people suffer a horrific death.  

Answer 5

Depends on what you believe. If you believe they'll have karmic consequences, then any bad trouble they get into, you could consider that "karma". If you don't believe in karma, then their troubles could be seen as just another aspect of life.  

Answer 6

Well, considering the universe has not seen fit to deal with d**k Cheney, who shot his friend in the face on a canned hunt, I would have to say no.

Answer 7

yea

like i knew this kid down my street who always tortured puppies

well one day he got bitten like really bad by one

i couldnt stop sayin

" thatx soooo good 4 him"

Answer 8

i think that someone who does that should be punished...i do not believe in karma, i believe in God. and it is not right to harm something God has put here for our companionship, and for us to love. humans are sick and twisted creatures when it comes to animals and other humans, it needs to stop.

karma may not get you, but God will

Answer 9

yes, because the animals never had a chance in life.

Answer 10

Cruel acts toward animals have long been recognized as indicators of a dangerous psychopathy that often claims more than animal victims. “Murderers ... very often start out by killing and torturing animals as kids,” according to Robert K. Ressler, who developed profiles of serial killers for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).(1) Studies have now convinced sociologists, lawmakers, law enforcement officials, and the courts that acts of cruelty to animals deserve our attention. They can be the first sign of a violent pathology that includes human victims.

Answer 11

No because I am not Buddhist and in any case don't believe in karma and all that.  

Answer 12

Everyone has to deal with Karma - Good for Good, Bad for Bad.  Karma is not a thinking law, it just is.  I believe Karma will respond to whatever we believe and we all know when we are behaving badly or even cruelly, just like we all know when we are being kind.  

Answer 13

yes, because its not fair to the animals. If you were an animal and people kill you for fun how would you feel? soooo bad and broken hearted..

Answer 14

i very love animal but people just kick it.

Answer 15

I think so.... if i ever ran into them.... buahahahahha (lol).. but seriously.... yes.

Answer 16

ooo! That's a sore subject with me.

If you are going out and shooting animals when you don't need too. You are "getting off" on the hunt!  That makes me sick. The type of person that is capable of doing that is not the person I want to be in the same room with! Not even on the same planet. they use the excuses...it's for food or to control the population. the point is is they are enjoying killing a living thing. There are other solutions.
